The next president of the United States must be prepared to take bolder, faster climate action than any leader has before. It would be a massive failure by the media to omit asking the next leader of our country questions about one of the planet’s most pressing threats during the presidential debates.

Climate change is the most significant environmental threat to the planet, and its global nature means there are not just economic and social reasons to address it, but international political reasons as well. This makes it far more than an “environmental question.” This makes it a question that’s deep and central to national security.
ACT NOW ([link removed])

Over the 20 Democratic and Republican debates in 2016, out of 1,477 questions asked, debate moderators only asked ([link removed]) 22 questions about climate change—just 1.5 percent of the 1,477 questions posed. During the fourth Democratic primary debate in 2019, moderators didn’t ask ([link removed]) one single climate change question.

This is very disturbing given the encompassing impact of climate change on the U.S. economy, natural disasters, human health, agriculture… the list goes on and on.

We need to put climate change on the national political stage. We need all three presidential debates and the vice presidential debate to include the topic of the climate crisis.
Sign the petition: ([link removed]) Demand the moderators in each of the four upcoming presidential and vice presidential debates include climate change and the extinction crisis in their questions.
